The 1937 blue cloth edition.I got a rare glimpse of this once,and I can't stop thinking about it.

El Morocco was the place to be.Truman Capote, Bogart, Ingrid Bergman,and Marilyn Monroe were known regulars atJohn Perona's east-side speakeasy.

No Captions Necessary.

J.Zerbe's photo album...for MEMBERS ONLYcaptured the feverish energy, insanity, and fantasticdebauchery of El Morocco nights. Think Misshapes.And the iconic blue & white zebra-striped banquettesmade it obvious to anyone looking at a celeb-photo,that it was taken in El Morocco. brilliant.

[In 1950, Bogart was banned for life forbringing in a giant stuffed panda bear]
